The primary port obtained from 1514652 Iomasterport. Pass Kiomasterportdefault to look up the default primary port.

Discussion
This method provides an accessor to the root of the registry for the machine. The root may be passed to a registry iterator when iterating a plane, and contains properties that describe the available planes, and diagnostic information for IOKit.
